Apparently, chia fresca is so five years ago. But I don’t mind. I love me a good chia fresca especially when they are spiked with fresh, calming herbs like holy basil (tulsi). Have you had holy basil before? It is a pretty common tea. It is a beautiful little adaptogenic herb that helps to calm anxiety and bring down stress. Basically what the world needs right now. I grow a little holy basil plant in a pot on my balcony. I use it to make tea and a tincture for myself. If you don’t have any holy basil just use regular basil!

Note: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding it is best to avoid holy basil.

Do you use chia seeds often? Did you ever own a chia pet? SAME THING! ha! I have seen them in the shape of the United States President’s head. No joke. Anyways, I digress. Chia–> it’s rich in omegas and high in fibre! woohoo! I go through phases of using chia in puddings and drinks and right now I am in a phase. You may see more of them soon.

Chia jam, chia smoothies, chia in granola, sprinkled on . . . whatever! Love this recipe of yours, and I just bought some hibiscus yesterday! Who cares if it’s 5 years old, as you said–it’s still delicious!
